I love spending an hour and a half on two sentences. I love editing so so much.🥴 #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #SevenHours #Booksky

Oh query rejections, how I love thee. . . . #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #query #SevenHours #Booksky

One more, cause why not. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Artsky #art #painting #JimiHendrix

Posting another painting. This is from, roughly, 5 years ago as well. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Artsky #art #painting #NewYork

Posting another painting. This is from, roughly, 5 years ago. It's massive too. Nearly 6'x6'. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Artsky #art #painting #MadHatter

So I've been thinking about the cover for my first book. I think I want to paint it. I've done a few in my time. Here's one. I'll post more if people want to see. Maven't touched a pallet knife in about 5 years. Maybe soon? #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Artsky #art #painting

Wrote my first ever book. Edited the crap out of it, over and over, month after month. Now that I'm querying agents I'm afraid to look at it. Honestly afraid to open it and read it once more in fear of finding something I don't like. . . . #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #SevenHours #Booksky

First query rejection in the books... And I'm okay so far... Right? I mean it's only one... Right? . . . #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #SevenHours #Booksky

First page from Seven Hours. I'm stuck in the editing trenches so I thought I'd share a little piece from it. . . . #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #SevenHours #Booksky

Seems like every social media platform is filled with fucking scammers these days. They act all nice then try selling you fake services, editing, marketing, being so fucking pushy. I've blocked soooo many accounts here alone. Fuck right off!!! Gahh! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #SevenHours #Booksky

Love summer. Love the sun. Love writing outdoors. Winter will come too soon. . . #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #SevenHours #Booksky

Editing suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. . . That is all. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #SevenHours #Booksky

I think I have a problem. Just got rid of 95% of 'which' well crap. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #SevenHours #Booksky

Feel like sharing this tonight.

Annnnnd got my book back from the editor. No more procrastinating. Time to make this thing perfect... Or just ready for another round of edits.

Sometimes when I write, I get blocked, aka Writer's Block. I wrote a bit about it. #writingcommunity #writesky open.substack.com/pub/lonicame...

First page from the prequel to Seven Hours. This will hurt. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #TheManAcrossTheWater #Firstpage #Booksky

Me: You're going to keep writing while beta readers have your book won't you? Also me: umm no... Me: ... Also me: ... Me: That was a yes, wasn't it? Also me: Yes... Yes it was. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #sevenhours #sevenhours #writing

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #sevenhours #sevenhours #writing Working on the blurb for Seven Hours. It still needs work.

About half way done with chapter 2 of the new story. I love how, in very subtle ways, it ties to the first book. Tiny hints,that will hopefully make the reader flash back to the original. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #sevenhours #themanacrossthelake #writing

Hopefully receive feedback from my beta readers about Seven Hours and keep going on more edits. Also knock out at least 2 chapters for the follow up... Or prequel novel. #WritingGoals #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #sevenhours #BookSky

Started reading Artificial Wisdom by @tomweaver.bsky.social and listening to Red Rising in the car. I must say, both books are amazing so far. #booksky #redrising #artificialwisdom

Wrote 999 words tonight. New story, a prequel of sorts to the book I just finished. To the book I can't touch until I get it back from my betas. So I needed to pull my thoughts away from that story, and start something new. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #sevenhours #themanacrossthelake #writing

Cover reveal for an incredible collection from @jvgachs.bsky.social , which will be released in winter this year. @cutfingers.bsky.social has manipulated one of her original photographs to capture the dark, visceral rage within this collection. ARC signup information is coming soon 🐁🖤🐀

The more I write this book, the more I edit, more memories from my childhood come out of hiding, and the more I hear... are you ok? being called out from the other room. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #Sevenhours #writing

I'm down to just shy of 163K words. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #Sevenhours #firstline

Edited two chapters two... Word count: -156... That's progress.
